Educational goal:

The aims of the course are: provide students with the knowledge of important concepts and techniques of text mining and information extraction; make students capable of applying text mining (and information extraction) methods, tools and techniques.

Educational outcome:

Students are acquainted with important concepts and techniques of text mining and information extraction and are capable of applying text mining (and information extraction) methods, tools and techniques.

Course content:

Basic concepts and overview of the field of computational text analysis and information extraction. Pre-processing of the text. Lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis. The use of machine learning methods in the analysis of text: classification and clustering of textual documents. Probabilistic models for information extraction:Maximum Entropy Models,Hidden Markov Models, Conditional Random Fields. Rule-based information extraction. Automatic extraction of terms. Automatic extraction and semantic annotation of named entities in text. Automatic text summarisation. Systems for automatic answering questions. Visualization of text data. Information extraction from business reports. Automatic recognition of emotions and attitudes from text (opinion and sentiment mining). Information extraction in biology and medicine.

Teaching methods:

Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory classes, homework assignments, and consultations. Lectures involve presenting the course materials using the necessary didactic tools while encouraging the students to participate actively. Laboratory classes (exercises) are realized through assignments that can be done independently or with the help of teaching assistants, as well as through homework assignments.
